Congratulations on the purchase of your

Sunbeam Cafe Series

Conical Burr Coffee

Grinder.

The Sunbeam Cafe Series

delivers quality,

style and superior performance capturing

the essence of the commercial kitchen.

Inspired by heavy-duty equipment found in

restaurants, cafes and bars, the Sunbeam

Cafe Series

is built to last. It brings together

a range of appliances designed to expertly

create authentic café food and beverages at

home.

Uncompromising blends of stainless steel,

brass and die-cast alloy characterise the

range. This combined with advanced

technology and functional design, guarantee

the performance, that each product will

surpass expectations.

When making coffee regardless of the

brewing method the flavour of the resulting

brew depends largely on the quality,

freshness and roast of the coffee being used.

Other factors including the purity of the brew

water, condition of the grinder and the actual

design of the burrs within the grinder can

also affect the taste of the final cup.

The Sunbeam Cafe Series

grinder features

tool hardened steel conical burrs for extra

long life. Inherent from the conical burr

design is homogenous grinding so the particle

size of the coffee is consistent and even. This

is especially important for espresso, if the

particle size of the coffee is uniform equal

amounts of the coffee’s aromatic profile will

be extracted. However if the particle size of

the coffee varies some particles will be over-

extracted and some will be under-extracted,

resulting in a poor tasting coffee.

Another advantage of the conical burr design

is its slow rotating operation. This combined

with a gear-driven motor, minimises heat

transfer to the burrs and thus protects the

aromatic profile of the coffee and ultimately

enhances the quality of the resulting brew.

The Sunbeam Cafe Series

Conical Burr

Coffee Grinder is designed with quality

die-cast metal components and includes

many features that make grinding coffee at

home easy so you can enjoy a lovely fresh

cup of coffee every time. We hope you enjoy

your new coffee grinder and should you need

any further assistance please don’t hesitate

The wide-range of 40 grind settings allows

for precision adjustment. The coffee maker

has complete control of the particle size and

ultimately the quality of the resulting brew.

Some things to remember when using the

coffee grinder;

• The smaller the particle size the longer it

will take to grind.

• When using the finer settings the coffee

may become stuck, we recommend tapping

on the lid of the bean hopper to dislodge

any clumps of coffee blocking the flow.

• After long periods of using the finer

settings we recommend removing the

upper burr and sweeping away any residual

coffee to avoid clogging. See the Care

and Cleaning section on page 16 for more

details.

Tips

1. Select the correct grind for the brewing

method you are using. 40 grind settings

are available to ensure precision

adjustment. Settings 1-7 deliver the finest

grinds, Settings 7-20 return medium grinds

and Settings 20-40 deliver the coarsest

grinds. It is important to experiment with

the grind settings to achieve the ideal brew

that best suits your palate.

2. For drip filter coffee machines, a good

starting point is to use 8 grams (1 scoop)

of coffee for every 4 cups of brew water

as measured with the carafe. Finer grinds

usually require less coffee, but using too

fine a grind will result in a brew that is

bitter in flavour.

3. For those that prefer weaker coffee,

continue to use the recommended amount

of ground coffee and then dilute the

resulting brew with fresh hot water. Doing

this will maximise flavour and minimise

bitterness.

4. Coffee that is ground too fine for a

particular brewing process will result in

over-extraction and the coffee will taste

bitter. On the other hand, coffee that is too

coarse for a particular brewing method will

result in under-extraction and the coffee

will be thin and poor in flavour.

5. Once coffee is ground it quickly loses its

flavour and aroma. For the best results we

recommend you grind beans immediately

prior to brewing.

6. Buy fresh whole coffee beans weekly.

7. To retain freshness, store whole coffee

beans in an airtight container in a cool,

dark, dry place. It is not recommended

that you store beans in the grinder’s bean

hopper for a prolonged period.

8. To ensure the best results from the coffee

grinder clean the bean hopper and conical

burrs regularly.

What is recalibration?

Recalibration is the process of adjusting

the width between burrs which affects the

coarseness or fineness of the coffee grinds

that are produced. The further apart the burrs

are the coarser the final grind, comparatively

the closer the burrs are together the finer the

final grind will be.

How often do I need to recalibrate?

This will depend on how frequently you use

your Cafe Series

Conical Burr Grinder II.

Regular recalibration is key to achieving

consistent grinding results which is an

essential ingredient when brewing espresso.

This will help to ensure that your grinder

continues to produce the ideal coffee grinds

for your palate.

Step 1:

Ensure that the coffee grinder is switched

off and unplugged from the power outlet.

Turn the grinder so the back of the unit is

facing you. Ensure that the two arrows (one

on the motor base and one on the grind

adjustment collar) are aligned and that the

‘UNLOCK’ button is pushed out. Ensure the

hopper closure arm is closed. Remove the

bean hopper from the motor base by pushing

down on the hopper and whilst holding the

grind adjustment collar firmly turn in an anti-

clockwise direction See figure 10.

Step 2:

To remove the top burr press down on the

‘UNLOCK’ button and align the ‘ALIGN’

arrow on the motor base with the arrow on

the grind adjustment collar. See figure 11.

Recalibration Guide

Figure 10

Figure 11

Recalibration Guide (continued)

Step 3:

To remove the top burr from the grind

adjustment collar lift it out using the wire

handle. See figure 12.

Step 4:

When holding the top burr you will observe

that there are two screws that sit below the

outside rim. You will need to unscrew both

screws using a small sized flat head screw

driver. Unscrew and remove both screws and

set to one side. See figure 13.

Step 5:

With one hand firmly grasp the body of the

top burr. To recalibrate the top burr hold onto

the wire handle and turn in a clockwise or

anti-clockwise direction. See figure 14.

NOTE: To achieve a FINER grind rotate

CLOCKWISE. To achieve a COARSER grind

rotate ANTI-CLOCKWISE.

NOTE: Only a slight movement in either

direction is required to achieve your perfect

grind.

Step 6:

Once you have adjusted the position of the

top burr, ensure that the notches in the top

burr and the screw holes are aligned before

screwing both screws into position.

See figure 15.

Figure 13

Figure 14

Figure 15

Figure 12

Figure 16

Step 7:

If you have removed the grind adjustment

collar pick it up and ensure that the

downward pointing arrow on the grind

adjustment collar is aligned with the

“ALIGN” arrow on the motor base. This will

slot into place with ease.

Step 8:

Using the wire handle pick up the top burr

and turn in a clockwise direction until the

two arrows align, you should hear a clicking

noise. Using the wire handle, pick up the top

burr and place it back inside the motor base.

Turn it in a clock-wise direction until it falls

into position. After this is done you should

not be able to turn the top burr any further.

This means you have placed it into the

correct position. Push down on the top burr

to ensure it is secure. Ensure that you push

the wire handle to one side so that it lies flat

and NOT upright. See figure 18.

Step 9:

Pick up the bean hopper and slot it back

into the motor base. Look for the two slots

on either side of the bean hopper, these

correspond with matching grooves inside the

motor base. To lock the bean hopper into

place, hold the top of the bean hopper down

whilst holding the grind adjustment collar

and turn the hopper in a clockwise direction.

See figure 19. Turn the collar clockwise to

your preferred setting.

Important Notes:

• Spots and marks on the surface of the

burrs are part of the hardening process.

These marks do not affect the performance

of the grinder or the taste of the coffee.

• Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off

and unplugged from the power outlet prior

to cleaning.

• Do not immerse the motor base of the

coffee grinder in water.

• Do not immerse any part of the burr

assembly in water or any other liquid.

• Do not place any parts of the coffee grinder

in the dishwasher.

• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring

pads.

Cleaning the motor base, bean hopper and

coffee container

1. Remove the bean hopper from the motor

base and store unused beans in an airtight

container to preserve their freshness, see

figure 20.

2. Wipe the motor base exterior with a damp

cloth and dry.

3. Wash the bean hopper and coffee container

in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry.

Cleaning the burrs

If the coffee grinder is used frequently (every

day), the burrs need to be cleaned every

three weeks to ensure best performance of

the coffee grinder. Regular cleaning helps

the burrs achieve consistent grinding results,

which is especially important when grinding

coffee for espresso.

1. Ensure the coffee grinder is switched off

and unplugged from the power outlet.

Remove the bean hopper from the motor

base, push down and turn anti-clockwise.

See figure 20.

2. To remove the top burr turn the grind

adjustment collar in an anti-clockwise

direction until it stops, see figure 21.

Note: The top burr can only be removed when

the graphic arrow on the grind adjustment

collar is aligned with the arrow on the motor

base.

grind adjustment collar to its position in

the motor base. The arrow on the grind

adjustment collar is aligned with the

‘ALIGN’ arrow on the motor base. Turn

clockwise until the arrow on the grind

adjustment collar is aligned with ‘UNLOCK’

arrow and the ‘UNLOCK’ button pops

out. See figure 24.

8. With the grind adjustment collar in hand

align the arrow on the collar with the arrow

on the rear of the motor base, press down.

9. Replace the top burr back into position

in the grind adjustment collar and turn

Care and Cleaning (continued)

Adjusting the burrs for wear

The conical burrs are made of tool

hardened steel for extra long life. However

after prolonged use the burrs will require

adjustment to compensate for wear. A sign of

this is when the grinds are not as fine as they

used to be, check by rubbing some of the

grinds between two fingers or for espresso the

extraction will also show signs that the grind

needs adjusting.
